Every year for the last several Stripers Forever has surveyed its membership about the striper fishery. The results reflect my fishing last summer. (It is nice to know it was not just me or my clients or this corner of the world) You can view the results at this linkon their website. There are a number of interesting comments from anglers up and down the coast.
I needed to attend a meeting in Millinocket on Wednesday. The usual plan for me at these sorts of things is to drive up, attend the meeting and return home in the same day. One of our group had the good idea that we stay overnight and spend the next day on a snowmobile trip. I have not ridden a snowmobile very much and then only to accomplish some task like checking a cross country ski trail. So this was a new adventure for me. We spent the night at Twin Pines Camps in an excellent new cabin.
For the first time in several years we have Pine Siskins at the bird feeder this winter. They arrive as a flock and dominate the feeder. They keep the goldfinches and chickadees at bay until they leave and have eaten most of the sunflower seeds. So far this winter we have not had any unusual visitors.
